as more and more people have gathered, embracing one another, singing, chanting, showing the world brussels cannot be defeated by terror. >> reporter: voices rising from the heart of brussels, echoing around the world. this is a city overwhelmed by pain but not defeated in the face of terror. >> they're going to try to tear us down, make us scared. >> i was scared yesterday but here when i see everyone laughing, with a smile on their faces, it means like it's not terror. >> reporter: remembering the lives lost and injured in tuesday's devastating attacks, an overflowing sea of candles, prayers written in chalk cover the sidewalk in the city center, where this father said he wanted to bring his daughter to show her the difference between their muslim faith and radicals.

that islam is not those deeds. >> reporter: they're united across brussels as they continue to not only mourn but refuse to let terror win. >> we're not afraid because we're not afraid to die and we're not afraid of them. >> back here live, the outpouring continues. it's really an amazing show of solidarity. coming up on eyewitness news at 6:00, i'll have much more with people here who are really holding on to hope tonight. live in brussels, aj ross, channel 7 eyewitness news. it is believed that most of the brussels attackers are dead. they blew themselves up. but not the man in the white jacket. you see him here in this airport security photo. he's now the most wanted man in europe. the question tonight, who is he? jim dolan here now with that part of the story. >> there are major developments in that story tonight. police believe the man who escaped the bombing at the

clothes and dark hat is crowley. they believe he is the man who built the bombs in the suicide vests in the attack on paris last year. those explosives were identical in makeup to the bombs used in brussels and police believe he is the man responsible for the bombs that created carnage in two european nations. >> reporter: in brussels now a massive manhunt for terrorists and what they've found has shocked this city and the nation in the heart of europe. in homes police raided, they found more than 30 pounds of a home made explosive called tatp. it was used at the bombing at the airport. >> a pair of scissors i found, i cut off so many pairs of pants to find massive shrapnel wounds. >> reporter: it was used in the subway attack. >> there was a massive explosion. the lights went out. the power went out on the train. >> reporter: and it was used in

the main focus is on the man in the white clothes and dark hat in the now-famous photo from the airport. he fled the airport after leaving a bag there containing explosives and detonators. notice the two men dressed in black each wearing a single glove. those gloves probably led the detonators to their own bombs. the man in the left in the photo died at the airport. the two known suicide bombers who are brothers, ibrahim el bakraoui who died at the airport and khalid el bakraoui who died for days. ibrahim wrote i don't know what to do, being hunted everywhere. no longer safe. if i sneeze, i risk ending up in a cell next to him. >> i've got a lot of things on my plate. but my top priority is to defeat isil and to eliminate the scourge of this barbaric

>> the president talking tougher by the day concerning isis as republicans paint him as soft on terror and way behind the curve recognizing the threat posed by the islamic state. but what happened in brussels yesterday and what happened in paris last year is far more the result of a generational failure in europe to confront terrorists in their own backyard, a luxury afford. among the missing from the terrorist attack, there are siblings with ties to new york. moments before the explosion, the two called in the family to let them know they arrived safely to the airport for their flight back to the city. suddenly the line went dead and they haven't been heard from since. tonight the future father-in-law of one of the siblings talks exclusively to our stacey sager. >> wavering between hope and dread. that's really the only way to describe this. families on both sides of the

this brother and sister tonight. sasha pinzouski is a recent graduate from marymount. her brother alex was engaged to a woman here on the upper east side. tonight that woman's father is speaking out. >> brilliant young man. >> reporter: jim cane speaking fondly of the young man engaged to his daughter, cameron, 29-year-old alexander pinzowski. alex was here at a ticket counter inside the airport brusles when yesterday's terrorist attacks took place. alex and his younger sister sasha were about to depart from new york city and on the way with their mother when the unthinkable happened. >> the phone sounded like it went underwater and then went dead. >> so there could have been an explosion right there obviously? >> i think that's the presumption. >> reporter: his daughter is pleading for information on twitter but so far nothing. tonight the cane family travels

trying not to lose hope. >> but it's been more than 24 hours now so we know that there's a possibility that the good. >> reporter: both alex and sasha planned to settle here in new mexico city. sasha graduated from marymount college here on the upper east side last may. she was looking to move back from europe and as fate would have it, figured she'd join her brother on his trip. >> sasha apparently said my golly, if alex is going to new york, i'm coming too. >> reporter: in another sad twist, just so happens jim cane is a former u.s. ambassador to denmark. he's dealt with more than his fair share of terror threats a decade ago during the crisis over a cartoon of the prophet muhammad. >> you live through those scenarios, you think about those, but you can never imagine that something like this would happen to your own daughter, your own family.

>> just a very difficult situation right now for these families. jim cane does tell us, though, that of course there's still well over a hundred people in various hospitals in belgium, so they hold out hope and they're going to brussels to join the parents of alex and sasha in their search. we'll of course keep you updated. live on the upper east side, stacey sager, channel 7 eyewitness news. emotions running high as a local woman who was at the brussels airport when the bombing happened returns home. bombing happened returns home. this is exclusive video of ashley of wyckoff, new jersey, reuniting with her family at newark airport. just look at that embrace. before the attack, her biggest worry was traffic, which may have actually saved her life. bruckerman asked her driver to the airport to arrive 30 minutes earlier than originally scheduled. that put her past security when the explosions happened. >> i'm very, very glad to be home.

it just shows you how precious life is. it's wonderful and great one minute and then you realize you don't want to sweat the small stuff. >> look at that. all about family. she was in brussels on business. she was supposed to spend more time in europe afterward but decided instead to head home to her family. nypd commissioner bill bratton pulling no punches tonight, responding to calls by ted cruz to profile muslim neighborhoods in the u.s. >> it's a good indication why he'll not become president of the united states. there's almost a million muslims living in new york city. i have 1,000 new york city police officer, many of whom are combat veterans. >> cruz claimed commissioner bratton and mayor bill de blasio are hiding behind political correctness. bratton says cruz's remarks are shameful. a travel alert issued for americans traveling in europe. what does it mean for you and eyewitness news reporter n.j.

he said justice is best served if liang is sentenced to four years of probation and six months of home monitoring. akai gurley's family attorney said, quote, holding police accountable for the wrongful acts is important to our community. we continue to have faith in our justice system. sentencing scheduled for next month. two more years and he's out. yankees slugger alex rodriguez who returned last season from a one-year drug suspension will be hanging up his pinstripes and retiring in 2017. a-rod says it's time to go home and be dad. sports anchor rob powers here with more. >> he told us when spring training opened last month, he wouldn't be playing five more years, but today alex rodriguez much more definitive when talking about the end of his baseball career. he said he'll play this season

he said this in an interview with espnnewyork.com. he plays out his contract through 2017, then retires. he'll turn 41 years old in the summer. he's had had two hip surgeries. his career stained by the use of p.e.d.s but rodriguez still to this day one of the game's biggest star. his yankee contract ends after the 2017 season. rodriguez says today so will his career. so there's plenty of time here. we're talking 324 more games but that will be it for rodriguez who says it will be time to, quote, go home and be dad. more in sports and on eyewitness news at 6:00. it's a plan to make new york city more affordable, but a plan for this affordable housing has its protesters and its supporters. why some are against it and others are praising it. plus, remembering a queens native and beloved musician from a tribe called quest who has

>> big changes coming to new york city housing. taller buildings for one, and rules that will force builders to add more affordable units. right now people are rallying in support of the plan. but what exactly will it mean for new york city and its hundreds of unique neighborhoods? eyewitness news political reporter dave evans. >> that rally is now underway in lower manhattan. the mayor speaks in probably 25 minutes. these are supporters of his affordable housing plan. it is interesting, every time there's a mayor's race, usually the biggest issues aren't police and crime or schools or taxes, it's usually things like why is this city so expensive? and why is my rent so high? now the mayor doing something about that. >> i would love to be known as the affordable housing mayor. >> reporter: the mayor took a victory lap today in his old neighborhood after two years of work, the city council finally approved his controversial affordable housing plan.

approach and we need to say to developers, there's a new set of rules and you'll have to create affordable housing now. if you don't want to create affordable housing, you don't get to develop a building. >> reporter: the most affordable category is $31,000 income for a family of three, they can get a two-bedroom apartment for $775 a month. for years developers provided nothing that cheap. the free market ruled. but now it's changing. >> is this socialism by another name? >> is it an effort to ensure an affordable city? yes. of people? yes, because this city has always thrived as a -- thrived as a place for everyone. >> reporter: protesters disrupted but did not stop they wanted the mayor and poor. so did councilman williams. he voted no on part of the mayor's plan, fearing developers might try to get around some of

>> you will be mandated to include affordable housing. the question is affordable to whom? >> in areas like 4th avenue. >> reporter: the mayor today said no one will be 100% pleased with all the changes but said yesterday's historic vote will make new york city more livable, more affordable for many. >> we cannot let new york city become a gated community. we can't let new york city become a place only for people of great means. >> and the mayor's goal is over the next eight years he wants to either build or preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing. yesterday's vote, this rally, all part of that goal. for now, reporting live in lower manhattan, dave evans, channel 7 eyewitness news. out west, the springtime blizzard has shut down the denver airport. the snow and blowing wind has reduced visibility so much that the road to the airport, you know that really long road to the airport? it's now impassible. hundreds of passengers already at the airport are being asked to remain there until conditions

you know how long that road is going from denver city out to that airport. >> that's just painful looking at that. i'm glad that's not us. >> they're going to get close to 2 feet north and east of denver. you know how the rockies turn around. it will be in the 60s and 70s in no time. >> our weather is about to turn around. no coat needed today but tomorrow it's a different story. >> that's the takeaway. that storm is actually responsible for rain we're getting on friday morning. of course we get the warm side of the storm thankfully. it's turned so gorgeous out there, the meadow has definitely gone from that brown-ish green to a nice vibrant green. we're starting to see the colors come back and see the buds swelling right now. i just tweeted out a picture of the magnolias pushing out now. now we're at 71. we bumped up again in the last hour. the air is still dry. the wind in the park is at 7 miles per hour but i've seen 20-mile-per-hour gusts and with the low humidity, the brush fire danger is still there this afternoon. keep that in mind. the pressure is holding steady

unfortunately some of that cold air is going to seep in from the north and east tomorrow as that front slowly inches to the south. look what's happening. it's 30 degrees colder in albany right now. it's in the 30s in northern new england. a little bit of that air mass comes in and all of the sudden we lose our 70s, we go back in to the 50s. that front is connected to the blizzard going on in denver right here. this energy is going to come eastward but then go north. we're on the warm side of the storm and we get rain from it later thursday night in to friday. futurecast looking like this. really a great evening. go out and enjoy that. tomorrow morning is not bad. low clouds will start to increase. you'll have a little sun. low clouds will start to increase. wind goes off the water. look at these numbers. 40s in bridgeport, montauk. then your 65 to 70s, only extreme western new jersey. partly cloudy skies tonight. 48. low clouds, cooler. big temperature range tomorrow. just depending on where you are. you're well east, 40s, 70s well

>> more luxurious interiors. even though it's an economy car you're not going to be in economy space. >> reporter: economy is not a word you'd associate with many of the super cars at the auto show. some will set you back an arm and leg and maybe a pair of kidneys and that still may not be enough. perhaps that's one reason why porsche unveiled the 718 boxter. >> we don't like to talk price. we like to talk performance in this car. zero to 60 goes in 4 seconds. so that really gives you a kick and you can have that kick from $55,000 upwards. >> that's plenty of kick and plenty of performance. the auto show, doors open to the general public friday. the show is in town here till sunday, april 3rd. $16 for adults. $7 for kids under 12. wear comfortable shoes. there's lots to see. live at the convention center, joe torres, channel 7 eyewitness news.
